Patent EP-0812571-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KONTOS STAVROS
IPC: A61B17/04
Filed: 1997-03-05
Abstract: A method and device (1) for sealing an opening in an anatomical structure within a living body involves the positioning of the tissue adjacent to the opening within a gap between proximal and distal parts (18,24) of a flexible tube (16) formed by a curved central part (22). A needle (37) coupled to a suture loop (41) is drawn from a needle retention channel (32) formed within the distal part (24) through the tissue received in the gap and into a needle receiving channel formed within the proximal part (18). The needle (37) may be drawn out by pulling on either the suture loop (41) or a separate pull cord (43) which extends through a lumen to an opening formed in the first end of the proximal part (18). After the device (1) has been rotated and the procedure repeated, a second needle (37) attached to the suture loop (41) is drawn through the tissue in the same manner and the two ends are knotted together and tightened to seal the opening.

Abstract: A device that stores and sanitizes toothbrushes in individual storage
pockets in a vessel (10) containing a sanitizing solution. Each storage
pocket is formed in the top surface (14) of the vessel (10) in such a
manner that the storage pocket is partially filled with sanitizing
solution and in normal use, the pocket is sealed from the sanitizing
fluid contained in the main vessel (10). When the sanitizing solution
has served its useful life in the pockets of the vessel (10), the vessel
(10) is overturned, the used sanitizing liquid in each of the pockets is
dumped out by over-turning the vessel (10). The vessel (10) is then
returned to its normal orientation, and the top (14) of the vessel (10)
is raised slightly to allow the top of each pocket to slightly separate
from the lower portion of each pocket to allow the sanitizing liquid in
the vessel to flow into each pocket to replenish the sanitizing fluid in
each pocket. When each pocket is filled to the desired level, the top of
the vessel (10) is returned to its sealing position and locked in this
position until the solution in the pockets is spent.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for using recycled plastic
material, and to a plastic product produced by an extruder. In the invention,
crosslinked polyethylene is ground to powder form and mixed with e.g.
polyethylene so that the proportion of the crosslinked polyethylene in the
mixture is less than 30%. The mixture is supplied through an extruder (2) for
making an extruded plastic product. In this way, crosslinked polyethylene can
be recycled in a cost-effective and simple manner, while producing a plastic
product that has good characteristics and contains recycled crosslinked
polyethylene.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne des promoteurs qui sont naturellement associés à des séquences codant l'oxydase protoporphyrinogène (protox) d'origine végétale, ainsi que des dérivés de ces promoteurs. Ces promoteurs peuvent être utilisés afin de gérer l'expression d'une séquence de codage hétérologue et à liaison fonctionnelle dans une cellule végétale. Ces promoteurs sont particulièrement utiles dans l'expression de formes modifiées d'enzymes cibles herbicides, notamment l'expression de formes modifiées de protox, et permettent ainsi d'obtenir une tolérance aux herbicides qui inhibent les enzymes non modifiées correspondantes. Cette invention concerne également des molécules d'ADN recombinant et des gènes chimériques contenant ces promoteurs, ainsi que des tissus végétaux et des plantes contenant de tels gènes chimériques.
